For over a decade, Medlar has become a beloved destination on the King’s Road, showcasing the very best of contemporary fine dining. But for those special occasions that require more exclusivity, the Medlar is available for private hire for a range of intimate events, including birthday celebrations, wedding parties, corporate events, and wine tastings. To top it all off, there is an outside area perfect for balmy summer evenings.
Under the leadership of Joe Mercer Nairne, with experience at renowned establishments like Chez Bruce and The Savoy Grill, the Medlar menu combines French culinary techniques with international inspirations creating a dining experience of considered complexity at a commendably reasonable price point. Aiming to make best use of seasonal produce, dishes are designed to promote the quality of European and British produce and deliver a satisfying experience.
Notable starters include a crab raviolo accompanied by samphire, brown shrimp, leek fondue, and bisque sauce; and a signature duck egg tart with a turnip puree, lardons, and sauteed duck heart. When it comes to the main course, you can expect thoughtfully crafted dishes like the barbary duck breast with poached quince, crosnes, red cabbage, and chestnuts. Alternatively, the fish options offer delicate flavours, such as roast Cornish cod with an almond, caper, and raisin crust, cauliflower puree, and Roseval potatoes.
To finish, there is a delightful selection of dessert options including a buttermilk panna cotta with forced English rhubarb, almond nougatine, sorrel, and pistachio cakes. Or, if you’re more savoury than sweet, there’s a cheese selection on offer to round it all off.
